Method: Two hundred and twenty eight HIV/AIDS patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, patients from treatment group received Immune 1 combined HAART therapy, patients from control group was given placebo combined HAART and evaluate the change of CD4+ T cell count and its immune reconstitution rate.

Result: In patients with CD4+ T cells baseline level (200-350 cell x microL(-1)), Immune reconstitution rate of treatment group is significantly higher than the control group.

Conclusion: Immune 1 combined HAART can effectively promote the immune reconstitution of patients with high CD4+ T cells baseline level(200-350 cell x microL(-1)) and show little side effect and is safe to treat HIV/AIDS disease.
